The federal lawmaker further requested that his resignation be treated with immediate effect and that all official records, including party registers and databases, be updated to reflect his exit.
He also appealed for the removal of his name from all PDP membership records and documentation without delay.
Olajide’s resignation adds to the growing list of political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, as parties continue to grapple with internal disagreements and strategic repositionin
